UPSC 2026 important dates

UPSC publishes its annual examination calendar, with notification, application, Prelims and Mains dates, on its official website. Always check dates there, since they can change.

Plan your preparation around the calendar

• Finish one full revision of the syllabus at least three months before Prelims.
• Start Mains answer writing alongside Prelims preparation, not after it.
• Schedule full-length mocks in the final two months before each stage.

Our test series schedules can be personalised to your exam date after you join.
